LTX-401 is a novel oncolytic amino acid derivative that specifically targets the Golgi apparatus, demonstrating significant potential in cancer therapy. In vitro studies reveal that LTX-401 effectively reduces the viability of various tumor cell lines, exhibiting cytotoxic activity across a range of concentrations. Notably, it shows the highest potency against the human malignant melanoma cell line MDA-MB-435S (IC50 = 13.5 μM) and the lowest activity against the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HEPG2 (IC50 = 35.4 μM). For other cell lines, the IC50 values fall within a narrow range of 19-32 μM. Importantly, LTX-401 does not induce hemolysis in red blood cells at concentrations effective for cancer cell death, with hemolytic activity only observed at much higher concentrations (400 μg/mL = 1087 μM). Additionally, LTX-401 demonstrates cytotoxicity against non-malignant cell lines, including HUV-EC-C endothelial cells, HaCat keratinocytes, and MRC-5 fibroblasts, suggesting a broad but selective mechanism of action.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
